Attachment 0003

BASIS OF AWARD

I. Basis of Award

1. The U.S. Government will evaluate proposals submitted in response to this RFQ as established in the Basis of Award, Attachment 0003 and in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 and FAR 13.5 The U.S. Government intends to make one contract award to the responsible offeror conforming to the solicitation that will be most advantageous to the Government, considering the following: Technical Experience, Project Technical Approach, Staffing Plan, and Price.

2. The Technical Experience criteria will be evaluated on an acceptable / unacceptable basis outlined in Section II (1). If offeror receives an acceptable for technical experience the offeror will move on to the Oral Presentations as outlined in Section II (2) and Section II (3). If unacceptable, the offeror will not move forward to the oral presentations portion of the solicitation and will not be considered for award.

3. To avoid potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCIs) and ensure an unbiased assessment, the Offeror must certify that it has not performed as a Prime Contractor to the Government with regard to the development of Army Logistics ERPs to include LMP, GFEBS, GCSS-A, etc. If certification is not provided, the Offeror will not advance to oral presentations.

4. The Government will conduct a comparative analysis of the oral presentations to assess which oral presentation presented a superior approach and understanding of the requirements outlined in Section II (2) and Section II (3). The best value will be determined for Project Technical (Leadership Development) and Staffing Plan by comparing differences in the value of non-price features with differences in price to the Government. In making this comparison, the Government is more concerned with obtaining superior non-price features than with making an award at the lowest overall price to the Government. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall price to achieve slightly superior non-price features.

5. The Government reserves the right to confer with offerors if determined necessary.

The Government reserves the right to make a selection based upon initial submissions, so the offeror should submit its best terms in the initial quote. The Government also reserves the right to make no award. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose quote conforms to all required terms and conditions, includes all required representations and certifications, meets all requirements set forth in this document, and the PWS, and provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation as discussed herein.

6. Per FAR 13.106(a)(2) the government is not required to state the relative importance assigned to each evaluation criteria. Price is not expected to be the controlling factor in the selection of an offeror, but the degree of importance of price as factor could become greater depending upon the equality of the quotes for the non-price criteria being evaluated.
